No Longer

I know most of you have best friends you know will always be there, even when you're 90 and don't remember all the crazy times you had. But there is that tiny chance you and your best friend wont be like that, this is about that tiny chance that I have been so unfortunate to go through.

Come, take a walk with me. Remind me of what we once were, Of what we used to be. How we used to laugh so hard we’d cry, How we could talk for hours about Absolutely nothing and still Find a way to be entertained. Tell me of the times where we would just Pour our hearts out to each other And we would help each other. Now it’s getting dark, But I don’t want you to leave Because if you leave now, then you’ll Leave again for sure. And I can’t stand the thought of you Leaving me again, like you already have. Best friends don’t leave, They don’t fight, They walk and talk and laugh and make Each other smile. But I'm not smiling when you're around, Not anymore. I'm scared of what's become of us. It scares me to think that we don’t and wont Talk anymore. But that’s what becomes of best friends that Are longer best friends.
